One of the world's most famous performance artists, Marina Abramović, is among this year's five winners of the "Premium Imperiale" award, which is under the patronage of the Japanese imperial family.
Abramović received the "Premium Imperiale" for 2025 in the field of sculpture, and, like the other winners, she also received 15 million yen (a little over 86.000 euros).
In the field of painting, the award was won by a Briton Peter Doig, Belgian choreographer Ane Teresa de Kersmeker for theater and film, Hungarian pianist Andras Schiff for music and Portuguese Eduardo Souto de Moura for architecture.
The "Premium Imperiale" award, also called the "Nobel Prize for Art", is awarded annually by the Japan Art Association, whose honorary patron is Prince Hitachi Masahito, younger brother of the former emperor Akihita.
